SYMPTOMS
If you use Netscape Navigator to browse the contents of the Encarta 98
Research Organizer CD-ROM, the introductory video clip may be loaded very
slowly. In addition, the instructions describing how to play the
introductory video clip do not apply if you are using Navigator.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because Navigator must retrieve an entire video
clip before it can play it. Navigator may take a long time to retrieve the
introductory video clip in Encarta 98 Research Organizer because the size
of the video clip is about 32 megabytes (MB).
MORE INFORMATION
The instructions describe how to play the introductory video clip in
Microsoft Internet Explorer, which uses streaming technology to play
the video clip as it is retrieved from the Encarta 98 Research Organizer
CD-ROM.
If you want to use Navigator to browse the contents of the Encarta 98
Research Organizer CD-ROM, you must wait for Navigator to retrieve the
entire introductory video clip from the CD-ROM, and then double-click
the video clip to play it.
Navigator requires about 55 seconds to retrieve the introductory video
clip from a 4x CD-ROM drive, but it can retrieve the video clip from a
12x CD-ROM drive in less than 18 seconds under ideal conditions.
